The second challenge is how to integrate more timely interactions and transactions into the back-end analytics so that strategy can be measured and fine tuned at an ever increasing pace. In order to balance these two objectives, companies are looking to push data to the process by incorpo- rating operational data stores and data marts into their data management architectures. Unfortunately, this constant pushing of data results in more data inconsistency, more data latency, and a more fractured understanding of the business Author’s note: This paper is a companion as a whole.

Waiting until after extraordinary returns on investment. Maintaining those implementation begins usually increases the amount of extraordinary returns requires an architecture that is rework. Most developers will admit that it is more time robust, flexible and scalable. Careful thought must be consuming and difficult to do rework than to do the job given to the selection of the data warehouse and right the first time. For this reason, there is little doubt decision-support architecture. A mistake in this area about the value of a carefully architected data warehouse often leads to the deployment of an application that and decision-support environment. There has been, cannot provide long-term support for the data and however, a great deal of debate surrounding the "best" analytical needs of the end-user community. architecture to deploy. The selection of the "best" architecture will be driven by such factors as: available Selecting the most appropriate architecture requires technology, business requirements, commitment to the examination of a number of factors. Some of those development effort, skill level of the developers, and the factors are rooted in technical constraints, while others availability of resources. are rooted in how end-users are organized. There are also political issues that must be noted during selection There are several architectures, which can be supported of the architecture.

  • Introduction: Operational Data Store (ODS)
    Introduction: Operational Data Store (ODS) An Operational Data Store (ODS) is an integrated database of operational data. Its sources include Legacy Systems and it contains current or near term wise data. An ODS may contain 30 to 60 days of Data information. The goal of Operational Data Store is to integrated data information from different heterogeneous sources and homogeneous so it facilitates operational coverage in stipulated time period or near to it. Normally data information in the ODS are structured like the source systems, during integration the information is clean, De-Normalized and Business Rules applied ensure data information integrity. These integration processes is at lowest granular level and arise frequently throughout the day. Usually an ODS is not suitable for historical and trend analysis Data for future goal Decision Makers. An ODS is used for being temporary staging area for a Data Warehouse. Its main intension is to handle specific limit size data. An ODS does not contain static data but it contains data which are continuously updated through the Business Operations. ODS is particularly designed to perform relatively simply queries on small amount of data. It is contrast to Data Warehouse in which to perform complex queries on high amounts of data. ODS is short term memory and it stores recent and term wise data information. Data Warehouse It is a collection of integrated database which is designed for query and analysis of processing data. It is designed to consolidate data from multiple heterogeneous and homogeneous data sources. Data Warehouse allows integrating data from several external and internal sources and separate analysis from transaction workload.

All of these data feeds are processed through an Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) mechanism, which perform the following operations as necessary: • Extract the data elements of interest • De-identify the data as needed • Verify the quality of the data • Report data problems • Reduce or aggregate the data if needed • Load the valid data into the warehouse Data Warehouse The Utility's Smart Grid Clearinghouse v3.1.doc.doc 1 8/17/20 Printed 8/17/2010 • Insure that all data is accounted for and none is duplicated The design of the database is optimized for analysis and reporting given the metrics required and the data segments identified during requirements gathering.

  • A Data Warehouse Design for a Typical University Information System
    Journal of Computer Science & Research (JCSCR) - ISSN 2227-328X JCSCR http://www.jcscr.com Journal of Computer Vol. 1, No. 6, Pages. 12-17, December 2012 Science & Research © The Authors A Data Warehouse Design for A Typical University Information System Youssef Bassil LACSC – Lebanese Association for Computational Sciences Registered under No. 957, 2011, Beirut, Lebanon Abstract Presently, large enterprises rely on database systems to manage their data and information. These databases are useful for conducting daily business transactions. However, the tight competition in the marketplace has led to the concept of data mining in which data are analyzed to derive effective business strategies and discover better ways in carrying out business. In order to perform data mining, regular databases must be converted into what so called informational databases also known as data warehouse. This paper presents a design model for building data warehouse for a typical university information system. It is based on transforming an operational database into an informational warehouse useful for decision makers to conduct data analysis, predication, and forecasting. The proposed model is based on four stages of data migration: Data extraction, data cleansing, data transforming, and data indexing and loading. The complete system is implemented under MS Access 2010 and is meant to serve as a repository of data for data mining operations. Keywords Data Warehouse, DBMS, Data Mining, Information System 1. Introduction Nowadays, almost every enterprise uses a database to store its vital data and information [1]. For instance, dynamic websites, accounting information systems, payroll systems, stock management systems all rely on internal databases as a container to store and manage their data.

    From Open Data & Linked Data to Ontology example: http://www.disit.dinfo.unifi.it/siimobility.html 1 From Open Data to Linked Data To map Open Data into Linked Data: 1. Map the data to RDF: selecting/writing a domain ontology with standard terminology, convert data to RDF according to this ontology; 2. Link to external source: find links from the metadata to other repositories (Dbpedia, GeoNames, etc), 3. Curate the Linked Data: to ensure that the published information/link to other source are accurate. 2 First step useful tools (Map the data to RDF) Extract, Transform and Load (ETL): Process used in database and data warehousing that involves: • Extracting data from outside sources; • Transforming it to fit operational needs, which can include quality levels; • Loading it into the end target (database, operational data store or data warehouse).
